Interns conduct sets of tasks, and small projects. These internships take place during the summer or throughout the school year, and they vary in length from a few months to a year.<\/p>\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"4372\" height=\"2988\" src=\"https:\/\/yfiob.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/expo-Lili-Arnold-Soquelexpi.jpeg\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yfiob.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/expo-Lili-Arnold-Soquelexpi.jpeg 4372w, https:\/\/yfiob.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/expo-Lili-Arnold-Soquelexpi-300x205.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/yfiob.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/expo-Lili-Arnold-Soquelexpi-768x525.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/yfiob.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/expo-Lili-Arnold-Soquelexpi-1024x700.jpeg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 4372px) 100vw, 4372px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<h3>college and career expos<\/h3>\t\t\n\t\t<p>College and Career Expo provide an efficient opportunity for students to explore a plethora of different colleges and careers at their leisure. Situated at a predetermined venue, approximately 60-400 students will interact with approximately 10-24 exhibitors. Exhibitors reflect a range of jobs, representative of specific CA career sectors. As they make their way throughout the event, students can engage with exhibitors and ask questions. For ease of recognition, exhibitors are encouraged to identify themselves through such means as banners, tablecloths, or even signs. <\/p>\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"5312\" height=\"2988\" src=\"https:\/\/yfiob.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/slvmswinston-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yfiob.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/slvmswinston-1.jpg 5312w, https:\/\/yfiob.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/slvmswinston-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/yfiob.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/slvmswinston-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/yfiob.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/slvmswinston-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 5312px) 100vw, 5312px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<h3>career panels<\/h3>\t\t\n\t\t<p>In contrast to career speakers, career panels have more variety in that a few different speakers present to students and take their questions. Panels are beneficial, because students can hear from a few different professionals in bite-sized presentations. In the classroom, 2-3 professionals share with students aspects of their career and career journey. Students are encouraged to explore their interests by asking questions of those professionals that interest them. Panelists are encouraged to share with students practical advice and engage in conversation, so that students gain valuable insight.<\/p>\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"2048\" height=\"1152\" src=\"https:\/\/yfiob.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/78093600_2569486683145433_9112301670024347648_o.jpg\" alt=\"Officer talking to students in classroom\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yfiob.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/78093600_2569486683145433_9112301670024347648_o.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/yfiob.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/78093600_2569486683145433_9112301670024347648_o-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/yfiob.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/78093600_2569486683145433_9112301670024347648_o-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/yfiob.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/78093600_2569486683145433_9112301670024347648_o-1024x576.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<h3>Class career speaker<\/h3>\t\t\n\t\t<p>In the classroom, 1 professional will greatly detail their career and professional journey.
